Reproduction

How does reproduction ensure the continuity of a species?

 

explain the mechanisms of reproduction that ensure the continuity of a species, by analysing sexual and asexual methods of reproduction in a variety of organisms, including but not limited to:

  • animals: advantages of external and internal fertilisation

  • plants: asexual and sexual reproduction

  • fungi: budding, spores

  • bacteria: binary fission (ACSBL075)

  • protists: binary fission, budding
